When you're looking for rock-solid durability, unique aesthetics, and longevity, a slate roofing system is a top choice. Did you know that slate is a rock? Imagine having a roof that is truly hard as nails atop your home or commercial business property. No hail storm or fire stands a chance against slate. Here's what else slate roofs have to offer:

• Unique and natural appearance that ultimately enhances curb appeal
• Lasts longer than a lifetime
• Insanely durable

The Fort Wayne Roofers offers custom-tailored cedar shake and wood shingle roofing for your residential or commercial property. This style of roofing is rustic, natural, and charming. You can opt to have rigid cedar shakes or clean-cut wood shingles. There isn't a style that our GAF certified roofers aren't familiar with.

Contrary to what one might think, cedar shakes enhance dimensional stability due to being incredibly resistant to humidity. The elements are no match for our gorgeous, durable wooden shingles. Many homeowners discover that their energy bills plummet after installing a cedar shake roof because wood is an excellent insulator.

Say goodbye to cold toes during winter and hot indoor conditions when those summer months hit. Along with all the practical benefits, cedar shakes and shingles create a lovely curbside appeal for your home. Are you considering this type of roof? We'll help you decide if it's a great choice for your structure.

We really mean it. Metal roofing in Fort Wayne is extremely tough and often lasts a lifetime with minimal (if any) maintenance. You might be thinking that metal roofs are only for commercial and industrial buildings, but that is no longer the case. We see more and more homeowners opting for metal roofing systems because of enhanced style options: We now offer the following metal roof types:

• Standing Seam - a popular metal roofing option that looks sleek, well-put-together, and increases curb appeal
• Cedar Shake Inspired - Yep. You read that right. We have metal roofing material that looks like wood
• Tile Inspired - Metal that mimics clay tiles. Nobody will ever know your "tile roof" is forged in steel
• Slate Inspired - All the durability & beauty of slate, but light as a feather

So, you see? Metal roofing systems are nothing less than amazing these days. And of course, if you enjoy the original silver look, we can accommodate you. Please know that metal roofs come in a variety of colors, last a lifetime, and are backed by manufacturer warranties.

There's no denying the aesthetic beauty of a perfectly installed tile roof in Fort Wayne. Tile roofing systems are most commonly found in states like Florida and Texas because of their ability to withstand harsh weather patterns and seawater.

Beach houses are often decked out with a tile roof because the clay material can withstand the acidity of the ocean's spray. However, tile roofs can be installed anywhere in the country. They offer protective durability, preserve energy, are versatile, and often increase a home's value.

Plus, being the only home on the block to have a tile roof makes your home look unique and alluring. Would you like us to calculate an estimate for your tile roofing project? Call today to receive this FREE, no-obligation service.

Are you a commercial or industrial property owner that needs a high-quality rubber roofing option? The Fort Wayne Roofers specializes in rubber and flat roofs for large buildings that have extenuating needs. Many times, commercial buildings are flat on top and have equipment like HVAC systems and vent fans installed on their roofs.

Rubber roofing, always known as TPO and EPDM, comes in a roll and is easy to install. The material can be cut and shaped around equipment. Did you know that rubber is a natural, sustainably sourced material? You're not only getting an incredibly durable and energy-efficient roof, but you're also helping the environment.

Are you a residential homeowner who has a flat roof? Then rubber is an option for you, too. Get in touch with our staff today to learn more.

Roof coatings offer an additional layer of protection for both commercial and residential roofs. Commonly, coatings are applied to flat, rubber roofs because they have zero shade from the sun due to how they are designed. The Fort Wayne Roofers offer four main types of roof coating and are applied based on your roof's material:

• Acrylic
• Silicone
• Polyurethane
• Fluid-applied asphaltic rubber membrane system

It's hard to tell which type of coating your roofing system will need without seeing your property. Our roofing contractors will inspect your roof during your FREE consultation and give a professional recommendation plus a no-strings-attached estimate.

Plastic roofing comes in two forms: sheets and panels. The type you need is determined by your structure, goals, and budget. Plastic roofing allows you to see the sun and stars while inside your home. We like plastic roofing panels because they can be taken out, moved, and are extremely versatile.

Not only are plastic panels and sheets great for the main part of your home, but they also enhance the garage, patio, sun porch, and more. Commercial properties look great with plastic roofs because they create a nice atmosphere in waiting rooms and offices.

Did you know that plastic panels are transparent, are great insulators, and come in different colors? We look forward to helping you get the plastic roof of your dreams. Call us today to speak with a roofing specialist.
